“Yun'er, you've gone too far!” The divine god Lingxia frowned tightly, looking at Tan Yun with disappointment evident in her eyes as she reprimanded him.
“Master, I’m feeling a bit dizzy. If I’ve said anything wrong, please don’t hold it against me,” Tan Yun said. “But there are really too many things I want to say right now.”
The divine god Lingxia said unhappily, “Since you want to speak, then go ahead.”
“Of course, Master.” After finishing his words, Tan Yun picked up a jug of wine from the banquet and walked to the front of the table.
“Gululu.”
After taking a mouthful of wine, Tan Yun loudly declared, “Peerless celestial master, Zhan Peng, based on the fact that you both toasted me just now, I will tell you who the real murderer of Bai Xuanqi and Zhan Zusheng was on the night of the wedding at the Supreme Military City!”
Upon hearing this, the entire venue fell silent, as they had always believed that the murderer of Bai Xuanqi and Zhan Zusheng was Yuwen Divine King.
But Yuwen Divine King had already been killed and his entire clan exterminated. Yet from Tan Yun's words, it seemed the real murderer was someone else?
“Whoosh!”
The peerless celestial master suddenly stood up, staring at Tan Yun eagerly and demanding, “Young Master Jing, are you saying that the murderer of my daughter is not Yuwen Divine King, but someone else?”
Zhan Peng also stood up, suppressing the pain of having lost three sons, and asked Tan Yun, “Young Master Jing, please tell us!”
“Exactly.” Tan Yun’s voice was firm. “Yuwen Divine King was framed; the murderer is not him, but someone else.”
“Yun'er, are you telling the truth?” The divine god Lingxia also stood up to question.
“What I said is absolutely true.” Tan Yun affirmed.
“Then who is the murderer?” The divine god Lingxia asked.
“Hahahaha!” Tan Yun laughed heartily, took another sip of wine, and coldly scanned the crowd. With an extremely arrogant tone, he said, “Who is the murderer? Who else could it be? It’s me!”
“It’s me!”
Those five short words dropped like a heavy bomb among the crowd, causing a stir:
“What? It’s Young Master Jing? How is that possible? Wasn’t Snow Shadow Celestial Master’s great propagation technique used before, and didn’t it show that Yuwen Divine King was the one behind it?”
“Yeah! How could the great propagation technique go wrong? Has Young Master Jing lost his mind to say such nonsense?”
“……”
“Silence!” The divine god Lingxia shouted sternly, and immediately, the entire venue quieted down. She glared at Tan Yun in anger, “Yun'er, are you insane? You’re taking this crime upon yourself!”
“Snow Shadow Celestial Master used the great propagation technique back then; the murderer was Yuwen Divine King. Why would you say it’s yourself?”
“I understand now. You indeed wanted to kill Zhan Zusheng and Bai Xuanqi, and now you’re just drunk and talking nonsense!”
“Bang!”
Tan Yun raised the wine jug high and smashed it to the ground, shattering it. He stared intently at the divine god Lingxia and said in a deep voice, “Lingxia, I’m really touched. I never expected that even after I said this, you would still protect me so much.”
“Yun'er… you, you…” The divine god Lingxia shook her head, looking at her most trusted disciple, who would dare to call her by her name. She was so furious that her whole body trembled, unable to say a complete sentence!
“Jing Yun, you’ve gone mad!” The High Deity of Chaos stood up and roared.
“I’ve gone mad? Hahahaha!” Tan Yun’s face contorted in rage as he pointed a finger at the divine god Lingxia, yelling, “Even if I’m crazy, it’s because of you, this ungrateful thing, that drove me insane!”
Upon hearing this, the entire venue was in shock. Except for Wooden Beacon Celestial Master and Bai Cheng Celestial Master, no one ever expected Tan Yun would curse the divine god Lingxia like this.
“You…” The divine god Lingxia's eyes turned red with anger. “You ungrateful disciple! I trusted you so much, and you dare to insult me!”
